During the draft, I wrote that I was ready, but in reality, I was running around away from my computer and doing errands. As a result, I initially didn't pay close attention to the draft, but I got lucky, and we reached Diamond. Then I completely messed up... First, The_ eliminated the Tower, and I somehow missed it. In the final pick, I decided to go for my Tower against the Castle, eliminating the Dungeon. It wasn't very pleasant to find out that I had missed the Tower pick; I was left with the Citadel and Inferno. I chose Inferno.

The opponent took two early rests. In my first two turns, I built Goblin structures, but the map wasn't very playable (although both times I had a Demon stash).

In the end, after my 111th turn, a Demon stash appeared. Of course, we played on. However, the guard was Vampires. Also, the blue player's main town was visible on the map, but there wasn't a single decent hero there, so it was advantageous to fight against the Diplomat. It was immediately clear that the map was poor.

On turn 1, I placed Ifrits in the Citadel, and it was difficult to kill the Vampires. Also, thanks to the Ballista, I successfully cleared out the Demon stash.

On turn 121, with two Devils, I thought I had conquered the sea, especially since I already had around 45 Goblins. I went to free the hero from the green Demon prison. That's where I got completely beaten. It hurt so much that I thought I wouldn't recover. They destroyed everything I had, except for the Devils and 9 Goblins that barely managed to escape. It was very helpful that I had two Dungeon villages. First, I took a small Hive, then, with three Devils and several Ifrits, I encountered an Adela without mana, who stole the Hive from under my nose and, after my ransom and attack, bought it back.

Later, the blue Necropolis, which was generating 2000 resources daily, helped me and accelerated the blockade of the blue player, which the AI players were also helping to maintain. On turn 131, after buying everything I could, with 6 Devils, 4 Vivs, 12 Demons, 7 Pit Lords, 12 Goblins, and 5 Ifrits, I attacked the Castle fortification with Adela inside. There were 18 Vivs and 1 Angel.

Thank you for the game.
